@BShark said in Early Hearings TM:
Swain confirmed what I was hearing, with the new roster rule changes, walk-ons are basically no more
Unintended consequences
-
So how many scholi’s will we have to max out at 14 ?
-
Can Self keep any of the walk-ons as managers so he can have a scout team for next season since that’s the biggest role of walk-ons.
Wilder Evers, Will Thengvall seem the only two for sure directly affected by this currently on the roster, maybe Patrick Cassisdy and Dillon Wilhite.
Patrick Cassidy is a senior this season and currently getting his MBA after graduating last year. Wilhite already graduated last year and is working on an MBA right now. Justin Cross is a redshirt junior, so I’m he’s graduating this year as well. Since Cross was a 2 year JuCo player, he’ll probably look at a smaller school to play at while getting a masters degree.

That Vernon hearings email was depressing to read…
-
If you believe him
-
Can you please reiterate what was said?
-
Ok i found it and put in a bogus email in order to read it: https://www.kuhearings.com/authors/ceaae8db-9559-4fea-bf37-6d1dbb7935df
-
@approxinfinity not good. talking about division in the team , players confronting one another----trusting one another, Players with confrontations in the locker room- - Coach’s/players splitting and issues, players already looking at the portal
Other things-- just a lot going on- - -this team is done
-
I will be pleasantly surprised if this team makes it to the second round. Honestly hilarious that the metrics love this team so much
-
Can’t read it, so I’ll speculate:
(Sorry in advance. Feeling stupid)
— Bill to team: you’re soft as 3-ply Charmin
— Hunter to nobody in particular: Anybody seen my bag of cash?
— Dajuan during team outing: So if me and the Brauns moved up here, we could all get married?
— Ostertag in Jazz uniform: Listen u little shts, I’ll swat your sht back to Kansas if you don’t pull it together. And who stole my fishing rod?!
— Coach Townsend during pregame meeting as his phone rings: Excuse me, coach. That’s TJ Gasnola on the line.
— Self to Mayo: Zeke, you need to be more chesty on the road.
— AJ Storr to the team: Fellas, I quit.
Everybody in unison: AJ, you already quit like five times this season!
(As KJ admires his physique in the mirror the entire time)
-
Mentioning post Utah game that there was a heated discussion between players and coaches. Some more specifics but not worth sharing.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk lol i love this
-
@BeddieKU23 Funny that when guys from other winning programs come in and see the s-show with nepotism we run here they get mad and call it out
Rightfully so - been that way for years just the portal is finally exposing it. Guys don’t want to be treated like second class citizens when the “favorites” constantly mess up and lose but play through a multitude of mistakes that the new guys get yanked for
Just retire Self you aren’t getting saved by DP - no one can save you from your 1980’s basketball thought process
-
Program is in a space that’s genuinely disheartening to see
-
We going to confirm or deny Vernon’s reporting……
Pretty evident other 22+ year olds don’t like seeing the drastic favoritism with how 3 guys are treated compared to the rest of the team. Especially when those “other guys” were brought in to help but have been completely f’d out of playing aggressively and loose and their game
-
Staff changes are coming
-
@BShark some retirements?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Early Hearings TM:
@BShark some retirements?
One of those, the other is going to be interesting if it happens…could be a firing but I’m sure that would rather be avoided officially.
So we are probably looking at replacing 1-2 assistants, and creating a “general manager” position.
-
Do we HAVE to replace anyone who leaves? We have sooooo many coaches!

Need to get rid of some of the yes man on the bench
-
As long as it’s not KT, I support any changes made to the staff amd have been calling for it for awhile now.

It’s sounding like Kurtis is just going to be there until the bitter end with Bill.

@benshawks08 said in Early Hearings TM:

We have far less than most other programs fwiw. We really do need to add a couple spots imo. Namely someone to focus on fund raising and then someone to pound portal tape.
-
I know coach Q’s son had some form of cancer, not sure he’s of age to retire. I think he’s beat it. I’d guess Norm next. Wonder if we’re bringing Frank in?
-
whoa, interesting development.
-
@BeddieKU23 I will say I’ve heard it for awhile, but wasn’t a believer until recently.
-
Not saying it’s not needed, just that given his loyalty to many on the staff didn’t see it as likely
-
And make no mistake, the opportunity to work for Bill and At KU will be HIGHLY sought after. Like sitting head coaches would peace out to take the job. I do expect Mike Boynton to make a short list tho
-
One guy I’d love to see on staff is Anthony Grant but I don’t think there’s a world where he doesn’t retire a Flyer
-
Boynton would be a quality option
-
@FarmerJayhawk This is out of touch with reality and major homerism
Even the head coach at say umkc isn’t giving up his HC job to come sit on staff under Bill unless he was fired
Every guy wants to run his own program not be some assistant at a big name program
-
@BShark Bill won’t listen to the gm as he’s already admitted publicly so this should be real interesting
Unless we learn to guard the 3 and also shoot more 3’s no gm will fix this
-
@kuballin10 it’s a trend in the industry. Google is your friend. It’s further along in football where G5 HCs are taking P4 coordinator gigs
-
@FarmerJayhawk Give me a few examples
I know Saban takes fired/failed hc’s and brings them in then sends them back on their way
But guys just quitting hc jobs without being fired to demote themselves to working for Self isn’t a thing
-
@kuballin10 Chip Kelly, Scott Loeffler, Kane Wommack, Maurice Linguist.
-
Those are good points but all football I’ve never seen this in bball

There are former Jayhawks who have coached in the D League and elsewhere… Aaron Miles… Right? Just curious if that kind of candidate would be considered.
-
@FarmerJayhawk said in Early Hearings TM:
@kuballin10 Chip Kelly, Scott Loeffler, Kane Wommack, Maurice Linguist.
Chip Kelly - head case who didn’t like dealing with donors.
Scott - another failed Eagles project?
Kane - who?
Maurice - No more Buffalo football coaches for KU!
Flawed individuals like in the transfer portal - never the cream of the crop, but a bunch of also rans who can be useful.
-
@dylans what about buffalo basketball coaches? (Nate Oats)
-
@approxinfinity Might be ok. Not my dream coach.
-
@dylans any coach coming off a F4 who goes out of their way to say “the only job I’d leave mine for is Kansas” gets major points with me. He’s on my short list
-
Oats, Golden and Beard. Quite the group of upstanding citizens

KT almost went to prison for Bill. So no surprise here.
-
@BShark not sure what this grouping is coming from, but pretty sure Oats/Golden don’t deserve to be lumped in with Beard

I was asked for examples of head coaches who left for assistant jobs. These are all really good football coaches, just tired of the head coaching grind at the G5 level, which the exception of Chip.

Oats issued zero punishment for a star player, Brandon Miller, who provided the gun used by a teammate to murder a woman. Shades of Dave Bliss and Baylor there.
Golden was accused of sending nude videos of himself, harassment, and stalking a female student at Florida. He was cleared after an investigation, but there’s controversy around that as well based on how the investigation was handled in regards to Golden’s right to privacy being violated by the group conducting the Title IX investigation. One of Golden’s assistants is also under a Title IX investigation for inappropriately grabbing a female staffer.
-
Yeah I am aware of their shortcomings, but Oats being light on punishment is the same in your mind as what Beard did? Know Golden being cleared doesn’t mean there wasn’t something going on, but even assuming everything he was accused of is true, it still falls short of being on the same level of chocking your spouse.
IMO Oats is a few tiers above Golden who is a tier above Beard.

Seems like I missed a lot
